Application filed August l9|1907- Berial No- 3B9d12.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHRISTIAN F Sonivoon,

' a citizen of the United States, residing at 237 shows my improve -movable pin 10.

West One Hundred and Seventeenth street, Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful 1mproveinent in Fans, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in the class of rotary fans in common use for coolingthe atmosphere in a room; and my object is to provide a novel construction of portable fan in the class referred to, whereby it shall be adapted to be geared, for driving it, to any convenient motive power, whether foot-power, an electric or a gasolene motor, or the like, and whereby it shall be rendered readily adjustable with reference to the motor and also to the object to be cooled.

In the HlGCOIILPHJYiflIg drawings, Figure 1 an by a view in front elevation, ad ustably supported on a suitable bed Fig. 2 shows the same by a view in side elevation; Fig. 3 is an enlarged section taken at the line 3 on Fig. 2 and viewed-in the direction of the arrow; Fig. 4, an enlar 'ed section taken at the line 4 on 1 and viewed in the direction of the arrow, and Fig. 5, an enlarged section taken at the line 5 on Fig. 4 and viewed in the direction of the arrow. r

A post 6, which may be a metal rod and which'is threaded about its upper-end portion, rises from a supporting base 7, shown as a rectan ular block, preferably of hard wood, provi ed in its bottom, for the pur ose hereinafter described, with a transverse s it 8 and with a perforation 9 extending through it at-right angles to the slit to receive a re- On the threaded upper end of the post is screwed a. nut 11 forming) a stop-seat for a iiangedcollar 12 rotata ly surrounding the post and through the flanges of which, forming lips 13, a bolt 14 is passed, near their junction with ,the collarto clamp it about the post. The lips 13 form a hearing for a metal sleeve 15 rigidly confined in them and in which is rotatably confined the fan-shaft 16 carryim on one projecting end the fan 17 formed 0i blades in the ordlnary manner, and enveloped in the usual circular wire cage 18, which-is rotatably supported on the post by twisting its .back-f'ormmg wires about the sleeve 15 between the lips 13, as

shown at 19 and looping about the post the annular-back-wire of the cage as shown at 20 (Fi 2). I

T he fan is fastened in place between nuts 21 and 22 on the respective end of the fan shaft, which carries on its opposite projecting end, also confined between nuts, 23 and 24, thereon a peripherally grooved pulley 25, which may be best formed of two sections, as indicated, stamped out of sheet metal and clamped to other by the nuts.

about which the post is surrounds by a ver tically adjustable rectangula'rcollar 27 ri idly supportedin adjusted position by also,- sorew 28 working in one end of the collar against the post and seating at its on one or another of the teeth 26.

In one si e of the'post near the base 7 provided a vertical series of S150 teeth 26,-

inner end A metal sleeve 29 passes through and is rigidly secured in the opposite end of the collar 27, to extend transversely of the post, and forms the bearing for a rotary shaft'30 the fan, and carrying on its op osite en'ds similar pulleys 31 and 32, like but arger than the pulley 25 and similarly fastened in place, the pulley 31 bein 25 by an endless elt 33'.

This fan-deviceisflprovided as a article more partic arly for house old or ..workroom use, and to that end is devised to for driving so' connected with the pulley ortable.

adapt it to be placed in any position that is most convenient or desirable, as on a stand or the table of a sewing-machine to bring it into close proximity to the-o orator of the machine. To facilitate thus p acing the fan I provide, as an adjunct .to go with it, a thinrnetal clip 84 formed with a fiat base-section adapted to be screwed down firmly upon a su port 35, as 'astand or table, and an uprig it section or flange containing a longitudinal series of perforations 36 and adapted to fit in the slit 8 provided in the bottom of the base 7. To seatthefan-device its baseis placed to introduce the upright flan e of the clip into the slit and register a be e 36 with the hole 9 in the base, to crmit the passed through bolt oles (as a so through the post, likewise provided with a transverse hole registering with the hole 9) to fasten the device in position.

For operating the fan, the pulley 32 is adapted to be geared in any suitable manner "with any suitable motor, preferably one, like a. power-operated sewing-machine, an electric or other motor, that is operated pin 10 to bewith its cage by turning them on the post, whereby the fan may be quickly and conveniently directed to any desired point. Moreover on loosening the collar 12,-it may be raise or lowered, with the fan and cage, and sup orted by properly turning the nut 1 1, to a just the fan accordingly or take up slack in the belt 33.

What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is- 1. A portable fan-device comprising, in .ipombination, a post rising from a base and having "a threaded up er section with a nut screwed thereon, a co ar rotatably clamped about said post-section and provided with lips forming a sleeve-bearing, a sleeve secured-in said bearing to extend across the post, a shaft journaled in said sleeve and carrym a fan, a cage secured on said sleeve to enve op the fan, and a drrveshaft rotatably supported on the lower part of the post and geared to said fan-shaft.

2. A portable fan-device comprising, in combination, a base containing a slit in its under side and a pin-hole crossing said slit, a clip adapted to be fastened on a. su port and havin an upright. flange adapte to enter said sit and provided with a series of holes adapted to register with said pinhole, a post rising from sald base, a fan on a rotary shaft supported on the up or part of the post, and

a driveheft rotatab y supported on the lower part of the post and geared to the fan-shaft.

3. A portable fan-device comprising, in

combination, a post rising from a base and provided near the base with a series of stopteeth, a. fan on a rotary shaft supported on the upper part of the post and carrying a belt-pulley, a collar surrounding the post at said stop-teeth and having a set-screw in one end to engage the post, a. sleeve secured to said collar to extend across the post, and a drive-shaft journaled in said sleeve and carryingon one end a pulley having a belt-connection with said pulley on the fan-shaft and on its opposite end a pulley adapted to be geared to the driving-pervert CHRISTIAN F.
